The roof.. the roof.. the roof is on fire!Follow

Well, thankfully the roof is not on fire. But my microwave is. Or was. Sitting here quietly reading something or another when Jophiel Jr. came out of his room and said "What's all that smoke?!" Wondering "what the hell is he on about?", I walked into the kitchen to see a giant cloud of foul smelling smoke coming out of the microwave and the obvious smell of stuff actively burning. I hit it with the fire extingusher and opened windows, doors, etc. It's all settled now; I pulled the front vent off the microwave and peered inside and I guess the motor burnt out and caught fire or something. Given that I never checked the smoke detectors when I moved in here, had Young Jophiel not walked into the kitchen when he did, it could have been considerably worse. The microwave is (was) one of those "inset into the cabinets" type and it would have sucked to have the wood catch fire.

So check your smoke detectors and make sure you keep a fire extingusher in the kitchen. Ya never know.

That woulda sucked had your son not caught it!

I'd do something extra special for the lil one for saving you
some serious grief, even your life.

I had the exact opposite happen to me when I moved into my new apt.
The alarms were over sensitive. I couldn't toast bread without them going off. So I uninstalled them.

I think I'll put them back up, good lookin' Joph.


edit: spelling :(

<insert visual of Jophiel's pained face>

But look at the beeeaauutiful microwave, and is that a new snowblower? Haha ahahhaaaa! I am getting my house built right now, so next winter will bring with it all the joys of shovelling. Sounds like a hoot, Jophiel. I'll tell my b/f about the ******** trade-in program.

Some hospitals offer up to $50k for donating a ********. Takes "I'd give my left nut for..." to a whole new level.

What about if the ******** has previously had cigarettes previously stubbed out on them? Does that add or detract value?

LOL, this topic bring back a memory from two years ago..

I was out wandering around the plant one day and smelled smoke. I grabbed the nearest supervisor and had him get on the radio. It came back that the roof was on fire (no BS). I duck outside and can se the thick clouds of black smoke. So being the good employee, I go up stairs and inform my management that the roof was on fire. Now you would think that there might be a little gratitude for this action.... NOPE. I get my azz chewed by 4 managers for speading rummors. While I'm standing there thinking how I would soooooo like to Ice Comet these fools, I look out the window behind them and there are like 14 fire trucks out side. I just pointed out the window and was like "Well WTF is that then!" I never did get an appology.

Nah, hair dryers only come with a limited amount of charges. Bet you used them all up =P

I guess when you're old and bald like me you just don't worry worry about such amenities.

Oh. And congratulations on 7,000, you blowdryer using guy, you. Your real life name wouldn't happen to be Serge and you wouldn't happen to own a hair salon, hmmm?

;)

Of course I own a hairdryer you Philistine. Just because you have the grooming skills of an organutang doesn't mean everyone does.

Besides, it's damn cold outside and I'd prefer my hair not to freeze into some ice helmet.
